This is a photo of the famous Graffiti artist Banksy's work, "What Are You Looking At?" This was done in early 2004. This piece shows a security camera pointed at words graffiti-ed on the wall which say, "what are you looking at?" The words seem to echo the sentiments of all who find themselves under the eye of cameras even though they are productive citizens. This piece brings about the discussion about whether or not public surveillance is an effective measure to deter crime, or is just a violation of individual privacy. Banksy with this piece was trying to reach out to those who were worried about the potentially dangerous violations of public privacy after the events of 9/11.

    This relates to the sentiment Orwell brings up in 1984 because it demonstrates how prevalent the issue of unwanted surveillance is in the modern day. Of course today surveillance is done to prevent terrorism, while in 1984, surveillance was done to prevent citizens from going against the government, through things like the thought police and telescreens. 

   Banksy's main point in this graffiti was to bring up the potential that deep surveillance on the general population could have in the future, which is that our right to privacy is taken away. This could snowball into several rights being taken away, like the right to protest. This relates to the warnings Orwell gives about government surveillance in 1984 with Winston being constantly afraid of the thought police and telescreens.
